6. WINGS FOLDING TOO FAST
5-2
PROBABLE CAUSE:SOLUTION
A. DISC SET TOO SHALLOW: Increase depth of
disc gangs. Disc should run deep enough to cut
residue.
B. SHANKS NOT PLACED CORRECTLY: Check
shank placement chart and adjust shanks as
required.
A. SOIL BUILD-UP ON DISC BLADES: Scrapers are
too loose to clean disc blades. Adjust scrapers tight
enough to clean disc blades.
B. SCRAPERS NOT IN FULL CONTACT WITH
DISC: Loosen two bolts in scraper blades and rotate
scraper forward or backward to get full contact
between scraper and disc blade.
A. SPRING PIVOT BOLT TOO TIGHT: Spring pivot
bolt must be loose enough to allow spring plug to
pivot so spring is not forced to bend.
A. RESTRICTOR FITTINGS NOT INSTALLED: The
elbow fittings in both ends of the fold cylinders
should be the restrictor type fittings.
